    You didn't have to, you proved your ignorance with your first kneejerk go-to.

    It didn't take them long to prove your point did it?

    Are you aware that you are proving the OP's point. What else are you going to pretend about me? Are you aware that your insults don't hurt my feelings?

    'Illegal alien' is not a race moron. You went straight to the race card with me so this reply is justified.....if you want to cry to the mods go ahead.

    Are you aware that you proved my point? :)

    Me:

    Right-winger: "You believe X"
    Liberal: "I don't believe X. I believe Y"
    Right-winger: "No. You believe X"
    Liberal: "Please show a quote leading you to say I believe X"
    Right-winger: "Right here"
    Liberal: "I never said that. Never. Not once.
    Right-winger: "Yes, you did. Right here. Here is the quote, you actually said that.
    Liberal: "You are so racist!"
    Right-winger: *sigh*


    You:

    Me: *sigh*

    :)

    I am not trying to hurt your feelings, you probably have a therapy bear and a safe space. I am purely pointing out that within under 10 posts some individual from the far left would pull the word racist, homophobe, Hitler, or Nazi out of their rear end as if that would end the discussion. You did lot let me down and bless your little heart for proof of my beliefs.

    A boarder wall where one is warranted is fine. There is no such thing as sanctuary cities. Alliens who commit crimes should be deported immediately. A flat rate proposal regardless of income level is absolutely acceptable in my opinion... social justice is in the constitution. And "government" is most definitely the answer so long as the question is "what is the name of the governing body of a nation?"

    You have proven my point in the most embarrassing way for you possible.

    A border wall is needed.

    Illegals commit a crime the minute they illegally step foot on US soil. So you agree that all illegals should be deported.

    Tell California and Illinois that Sanctuary cities are illegal. They seem to think otherwise. Especially that Mayor in Oakland who outright protects them.

    The great researcher will have to think awhile on that little list of facts.

    "where one is warranted" translation: a border wall isn't warranted anywhere
    "no such thing as sanctuary cities" translation: I'm uninformed, in denial, or just thinking no one will read my response
    "who commit crimes" translation: I don't think illegally crossing the border is a crime
    "social justice is in the constitution" translation: the constitution is a living, breathing document

    If one were to take the above post and replace "right-winger" with "left-winger," "liberal" with "conservative," and "Hannity" with "Maddow," the newly created post would be just as valid as the original.

    Your case is one of the most prevalent as illustrated on this thread. Can't even begin to count the number of times you make an assertion like the one on the OP, and later bail out when asked to show quote, action.... anything.... to support you assertion.

    You, in particular, were one of those kept closely in mind when creating this thread.

    Only if you are a right-winger who projects because they can't deal with facts. Given that you can provide no examples of that. Myself, I can provide many. Even on this thread, our colleague @ArchStanton illustrated the phenomenon on the very first response to this thread.

    There are illegal aliens who never crossed the border with Mexico.

    And the right once again tells the left what they believe. More evidence that it seems to be a fundamental tactic of trumpettes as the OP has pointed out.

    Not really. Hannity's primary purpose is to spin every story, so as to make liberals and Democrats look bad. Almost no one really wants what the Republicans are offering. So they try to trash the other side, to make them seem better by comparison. Maddow tries to explain, all the details, to get a better view of a story.

    Currently the Republican spin machine is stuck on pretending that Donald Trump has been absolved of all guilt, in the Russian investigation. Something like 70% of Americans don't believe it. We all have seen him on television, saying the strangest things about Putin.

    But the Republicans are now on the offensive, using their false claim that Trump has been absolved, to try to go after their perceived enemies. Yet what is it that they are all hiding? If the Mueller report absolves Trump, why not release it to the public? The conservative media has convinced its followers that there are secrets in the report, that have to be redacted because of some vague secrets. Yet, the Mueller report is a confidential report. Anyone who knows security clearances, knows that there can be no secrets in a confidential document.

    And yet when I see the New York Times hiring and defending a senior editor who remarks:

    "“Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins.”

    I can't help but sense the ooze of anti-white animus among liberals. And your failure to acknowledge this and countless other anti-white expressions makes you less than honest, imho. You are free to gaslight yourself, but don't expect to gaslight me.

    So in your little hypothetical conversation between a liberal and a right-winger, did you not project your beliefs about what right-wingers believe onto all right-wingers? You did the very thing that you are claiming about conservatives.

    And are you serious that there are no examples of liberals projecting their perception of what conservatives believe onto conservatives? Surely you jest.
